Serum No. 5 Holiday 2014 Collection Swatches

Serum No. 5 is a brand I’ve been loving lately- so I was totally excited when she asked me if I’d be interested in reviewing her holiday collection! After all, Victoria’s tips helped me take my glow in the dark photography skills from ‘very crappy’ to ‘slightly less crappy’ (hey, I’m still learning) so this was another chance to try and improve them along with trying out some awesome polish!

Her packaging and little extras is always the best!

The Serum No. 5 Holiday Collection consists of 3 shades in non-traditional colors- Ho No!, Don’t Peek and Jeweltide Greetings. In addition to these three, she’ll also be re-releasing Yule Light Up My Life, another glow in the dark glitter topper from her collaboration last year with Lacquer Lust and Polished by KPT.

The collection will be released in Serum No. 5’s shop on December 1st at 12 PM PST. The formula on these 3 was similar (perfect consistency, not too thick or thin and practically apply themselves) and I used Out The Door top coat for the below photos. Let’s take a look!

Serum No. 5 Ho No! is a light periwinkle-leaning blue crelly with pink, white, blue and yellow glitters and purple shimmer that glows blue in the dark. The glow effect was more subtle than the other two which made it tough to get a good photo of it but it showed up in person. Two coats.

Serum No. 5 Don’t Peek is a beautiful taupe-brown crelly with green, gold, peach and purple glitters and what looks like a light pink or peach shimmer? This glows green in the dark. Three coats.

Serum No. 5 Jeweltide Greetings is a light pink/peach crelly with pink, purple, blue and gold glitters that glows yellow in the dark. Three coats.

Overall, I think this is an awesome trio for the holidays and it’s refreshing to see a collection with non-traditional colors. Usually I can pick a clear favorite shade but I honestly fell in love with all three of these the second I applied the first coat.

Serum No. 5‘s polishes are always high quality, her customer service is great and she also sells other nail items like nail vinyls and accessories- I highly recommend checking her store out!

What do you think? Which of these three shades is your favorite? Planning to pick any up on the 1st? Talk to me in the comments!

I am drooling over Jeweltide Greetings! I love how it goes from the peachy goodness to an electric yellow glow in the dark. Thanks for your swatches and I thought your glow in the dark photography was great 🙂

Thanks! The trick is playing around with the manual settings, using a tripod and resting your arm on something, too- I didn’t do that last time and they were still better but not quite as clear as I wanted. It made a much bigger difference than I thought it would!
